BIOGRAPHY:Thomas Weybrecht joined the WITN team in October 2019 as a news producer. As of February 2020, he splits time between producing the noon and weekend evening shows and reporting on stories around Eastern Carolina.

Thomas hails from Wilmington, spending most of his life thereafter moving from Binghamton, New York at a young age. He loves everything Eastern Carolina has to offer: not too far from the beach, mountains, or big city. He has family all over New York and the Carolinas, as well as in Florida and New Mexico.

He’s always wanted to be a journalist. He often stole his dad’s camera so he could use it for projects until being gifted one of his own.

Thomas graduated Summa Cum Laude from East Carolina University in May of 2019 with a degree in Communication concentrating in Journalism. During his time at ECU, he held many jobs: a pedicab driver, a server at Pelican’s Snoballs, a “sample guy” at Sam’s Club, and the Visual Arts Editor at the East Carolinian. Most recently, he’s worked at a local radio station as a producer and on-air personality.

He’s very happy to have found his home on the WITN team.

When he isn’t producing a newscast or working on a story you can find Thomas playing video games with friends or working on his tennis game. He’s got a long way to go.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said the NFL was wrong for not listening to football players’ protests of racial injustice. The apology came after some of the sports’ biggest stars called on the league to condemn racism in a viral video.

Two police officers in Buffalo, New York pleaded not guilty to assault charges after they were seen on video pushing a 75-year-old man to the ground at a protest. Some U.S. cities are now taking steps toward police reform amid growing outrage over clashes between police and protesters caught on camera.
